coloradobillsfan Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 9 minutes ago, That's No Moon said: I kicked caffeine 2 summers ago over summer break. My family went to the Outer Banks for a week right after school let out and I told everyone I was only drinking water and beer for the week. It worked fabulously. No withdrawal headaches and I had a great time. My blood pressure has been lower since and I'm sleeping noticeably better and more consistently. glad to see someone realizes caffeine is a real drug with all the benefits, and consequences, therein.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 "pop" I remember calling it that. I found after 3 + decades away from wny I don't call it that anymore but still get a kick out of seeing it. gave up coffee about 2 months ago. I have a cold pepsi in the evening with my nightly dose of medicine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 On a regular day, it's Coke Zero throughout the workday, and not really any once I get home. If I'm starting to get a headache due to lack of caffine, or I'm feeling extra tired, I'll grab a sugar free energy drink. If I'm planning on not getting a full night's sleep, I'll buy some five hour energy shots the night before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drink it black/no sugar - so I'd drink half a cup, then go top it off (at work) ... all day long, every day. I've been at my current job for about 3.5 years. Shortly after I started, I stopped drinking so much coffee. For the last few years, I no longer drink coffee at work. I drink two cups in the morning after getting ready for work, then take a 3rd cup on the road - which I finish right when I'm pulling into work every day. Then I'm done till the next morning. I didn't even try. It wasn't even a concern or a thought. It just happened. Weekends I'll drink 4-5 cups per day, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 The number of times per day being required poll is not useful. First of all "times per day" does not equate to how much you drink. I know someone who drinks once per day - a big gulp with mountain dew - and he will drink a lot more than someone with multiple cups of coffee. My personal source of caffeine these days is Thai Tea. On work days I will bring a 32 oz of Thai Tea which I drink cold but occasionally I drink cold tea at home and sometimes I drink it hot. For those who are not aware you can find Thai tea leaves in bulk like coffee and make it in drip coffee makers. It is remarkably inexpensive compared to tea bags. My wife makes it for me with Stevia and Carnation non-dairy creamer rather than traditional sugar and coconut milk due to my health concerns and I have introduced it to people at work.

I'm not your keeper or your bill payer but you just admitted to about 25 cups a week.If your heart healthy..all the power to you but don't ruin a good thing.You can eliminate those 8-10 cups on the weekend if you wanted to...challenge yourself. 7 minutes ago, Limeaid said: The number of times per day being required poll is not useful.

Thai Tea does have a major perk ,great for your arthritis/joints..coffee doesn't offer that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFFALOKIE Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Soda isn't on the list, just sayin.... 1 sometimes 2 cups of Joe on the shitter reading TSW, usually one cup in the car on my drive to work, 12 or 20 oz. Dr Pepper before lunch, Arnold Palmer tea after lunch. Beer till bedtime and several glasses of water throughout the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the exact response I expected. I am glad that I am neither a southerner nor northerner nor midwesterner. "Soda" is the correct term, thank you very much! ?

Augie Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 No coffee, maybe a Diet Coke or Coke Zero per month (usually with wings or pizza, taking me back to my childhood). But if I’m driving more than a couple hours I’ll probably have a diet Mt Dew and some salt and vinegar chips. Mt Dew is the devil’s juice, but sometimes when I arrive at my destination.....I want to keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what should my answer be? Is this your first poll? I was wondering the same thing. Drink approximately the same amount - 2/3 of an average size pot, basically 3 cups. When it's gone I'm done for the day. I chose twice a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquor and me parted ways a while back. I still like a weekend morning brewski or four, after my daily ritual af coffee and TSW on the throne, of course. Caffeinated beer sounds like a good idea at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
